I'd like to be Charlie Chaplin for a while
To make you smile.
I'd like to be Cleopatra for a day -
Get my own way!
I'd like to be Sherlock Holmes
For quite some time solving crime
In a deerstalker hat: I'd fancy that!
So just pretend you're in their shoes!
You can be anyone you choose,
Try their lives: go in disguise!
See the world
Through someone else's eyes!
I'd like to be Queen of England for a while,
And live in style.
I'd like to be a football captain for a day
Get lots of pay!
I'd like to be Aristotle for a week,
Being Greek.
Mathematics on a plate:
That would be great!
So just pretend you're in their shoes!
You can be anyone you choose,
Try their lives: go in disguise!
See the world
Through someone else's eyes!
You might dress in rags
You might dress in robes.
All the same you're still just you:
That's the way it goes!
You could be someone fierce like
Captain Hook - a nasty crook!
Or you could be someone brave like
Robin Hood and fight for good!
You could be a superhero with such
Might: what a sight!
Soaring up to the stars, you'd fly to Mars!
So just pretend you're in their shoes!
You can be anyone you choose,
Try their lives: go in disguise!
See the world
Through someone else's eyes!
...See the world
Through someone else's eyes!
See the world
Through someone else's eyes!
